Burned-out heating elements after power surges
Why it happens here
Summer storms and grid fluctuations send spikes through the electrical system. In Richmond Park, where most homes run electric tanks, those spikes hit the heating element and sometimes the thermostat. The damage is instant and invisible until the water runs cold.
Our approach
We test both the element and the thermostat with a multimeter on every electric call. If one failed, we check the other, because replacing only the element often leads to a second breakdown within weeks.
